Clockwise, founded in 2016, addresses calendar scheduling at the team level rather than the individual level several competitors in this category focus on: it automatically reschedules flexible meetings and defends uninterrupted focus time across everyone on a team simultaneously, coordinating multiple calendars together rather than optimizing one person's schedule in isolation.
That team-wide coordination matters specifically because individual calendar optimization has real limits when meetings involve other people: rescheduling one person's meeting to protect their focus time only works if it doesn't simply create a conflict for someone else, a coordination problem Clockwise is built to solve across a whole team rather than leaving each person to individually negotiate around everyone else's calendar.
A free tier covers individual use, and paid plans start around $7 a month per user for full team coordination features. For a team, rather than a single individual alone, that wants coordinated calendar optimization protecting focus time for everyone simultaneously, Clockwise's team-wide approach addresses a coordination problem individual-focused calendar tools don't solve.
